When Ono heard that Wang Yunqing wanted to see him, he sent a car to pick him up from the prison of the secret service, and Yamamoto was to receive Wang Yunqing in his private apartment.

Yamamoto's apartment was once a Baylor Mansion during the Qing Dynasty, and although it was small but imposing, the interior was lavishly decorated. When Wang Yunqing was brought into the courtyard, Yamamoto smiled and walked out of the main room to greet him. "Brother Yunqing, as soon as I heard that you were going to see me, I was very happy! Come in and sit down, please. Yamamoto took Wang Yunqing's hand and invited him into the house.

Wang Yunqing stood in the room and looked around and said, "Brother Yamamoto, the furnishings in this room are Chinese-style furniture, and the walls are hung with Chinese calligraphy and paintings, you love Chinese culture very much." ”

Yamamoto replied, "Brother, I don't like Chinese culture, I love it. In fact, the culture between China and Japan is very similar, and our Japanese culture is still learned from your China. My hometown is Nara, where the relics of the Tang Dynasty abound, so I have a sense of closeness to traditional Chinese culture. ”

"Brother Yamamoto, I know that this was once the Baylor Mansion, and your residence here is like a dove occupying a magpie's nest."

Yamamoto heard that there was a thorn in Wang Yunqing's words, and he said disapprerovingly: "I like the architectural style of this courtyard very much, it has been empty before, so I will live there for the time being." Come, please sit down and talk. Yamamoto let Wang Yunqing sit on a Taishi chair and sit down himself. A Japanese girl in a kimono bowed her head and brought a delicate tea set, poured tea for the two of them, and bowed back. Yamamoto picked up the teacup and said to Wang Yunqing: "You were imprisoned by Ono, and one lock up is several days, you must want to drink tea, this is the best tea, please!" ”

Wang Yunqing picked up the teacup and sniffed it with his nose and said, "Sure enough, the tea is fragrant, it's good tea!" I am a lifelong tea addict, and I would rather eat no meat than drink no tea. I'm not afraid of going to black prison, I'm afraid of not having tea! He finished drinking the tea in his cup.

Ono poured another cup of tea for Wang Yunqing and said, "Most of you Chinese people drink tea just to quench their thirst. And we Japanese people have developed tea drinking to a rather elaborate tea ceremony culture. Japan used to be a student of China, but now we are better than the blue, and your pedantic China has been left far behind by Japan. ”

Wang Yunqing knew that Yamamoto was deliberately stimulating him, so he sneered: "Brother Yamamoto, what you said is also true, but if Japan in history did not absorb the essence of Chinese culture, you may still be in a state of ignorance. ”

Yamamoto laughed, "Why do the two of us secretly compete with each other as soon as we meet, you are in a hurry to find me, there must be something important to ask for." If you have something, please speak up and stop going around in circles. ”

Wang Yunqing lowered his head a little embarrassed, he hesitated for a while and then raised his head and said to Yamamoto: "Brother Yamamoto, I want to go out of the mountain to find something to do, please help." ”

"You have all the skills, and you have many disciples, why don't you worry about finding something to do, why do you want me to help?" Yamamoto understood the implicit meaning of Wang Yunqing's words, and he deliberately ridiculed Wang Yunqing.

Wang Yunqing lowered his voice and said, "Brother Yamamoto." I mean, I mean accept your invitation, hey! Do you really not understand? ”

After Wang Yunqing said this, his face turned red.

Yamamoto saw that Wang Yunqing had finally bowed his head to him, but he was secretly happy in his heart but pretended to be puzzled. "Brother Yunqing, you swore before that you would never cooperate with the Japanese, and you gave me the impression that you were still a strong patriot just now, why did you suddenly change your mind? I wonder if my ears are hearing wrong! ”

Yamamoto's words pierced Wang Yunqing's heart like a needle. "Brother Yamamoto, don't deliberately shame me, there is a reason why I changed my original intention now. I will exchange my cooperation with you for my sister's life. ”

"No! These are two things that cannot be confused! Yamamoto denied it.

Wang Yunqing argued: "My brother-in-law is a Chinese soldier, and when you Japan invaded China, he fought with you to fulfill the duty of Chinese soldiers to protect their homes and defend the country, which is beyond reproach. May I ask you, if a foreign enemy invades your country, what should you do as a soldier? Therefore, it is unreasonable for you to arrest the wives of Chinese soldiers. ”

Yamamoto didn't refute, he just asked Wang Yunqing: "I know that you have always paid attention to reputation, if I agree to your quid pro quo, you are not afraid of being infamous as a traitor and traitor?" ”

Wang Yunqing said categorically: "I'm not afraid! In order to save my sister, I gave up, if God wants to arrange for me to go to hell, who will go to hell if I don't go to hell! ”

"Well, well said!"

Yamamoto tried every possible way to lure Wang Yunqing to cooperate with the Japanese, he did not expect Wang Yunqing to do anything concrete, but just hoped to use Wang Yunshan's influence to drive the celebrities of Beiping to cooperate with the Japanese, what he wanted was social influence. Yamamoto knew that Wang Yunqing was a person who regarded his reputation as more important than his life, and it was more difficult for him to cooperate with the Japanese than to ascend to the sky! When Wang Yunqing was ready to sacrifice his reputation to save his sister, he was moved.

"You're such a loving brother. I can't help but admire you as a person! But I want to remind you that you have to think twice about this matter, once you get on my boat, you won't be able to get off, and you can't take regret medicine! ”

Wang Yunqing replied: "If you want to say regret, if you can't save my sister, I will regret it for the rest of my life!" ”

"To be honest, you studied in Japan. The two of us are classmates and friends, and I have repeatedly asked you to go out of the mountain, and you have made me touch a lot of nails. I am very happy that you took the initiative to talk to me about cooperation today. But I know that you are an expedient measure, and your heart will never be attached to us Japanese occupiers. So I'm going to think about your request, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. ”

"Then before you reply to me, my sister asks you to take care of me!"

"Don't worry, I've already intervened in Wang Yurong's affairs, I won't let Xiao Ye move a finger on her again, and I have sent the best doctor to treat her. But I know that she is as difficult to be influenced by the occupiers as you are, and I want you to persuade her again. It's what I'm most happy to see both of you brothers and sisters working with our Great Japanese Empire. ”

"Brother Yamamoto, the condition I promised to cooperate with the Japanese is that you please stop beating my sister's attention! Please let her go, please! ”

Yamamoto smiled and nodded, "I understand your feelings, and I want to seriously consider your request." ”

Wang Yunqing left Yamamoto's residence and was taken back to prison. A few days later, the jailer took him to Ono's office.

Ono looked at Wang Yunqing and said coldly: "Mr. Wang, it seems that your friendship with General Yamamoto is indeed not shallow, and today he personally called me and asked me to let you go." ”

Wang Yunqing didn't believe Ono's words a little. He asked, "Can I get out of prison now?" ”

Ono said angrily, "If you don't want to go, you can stay with me for a few more days." ”

When Wang Yunqing was sure that he could be released from prison, he didn't say a word, turned around and walked out of Ono's office, Ono yelled behind him: "Wang Yunqing, you have to remember that if I catch you next time, I will never be polite to you!" ”

Wang Yunqing returned home in a hurry, and Mrs. Wang was taking her two children to lunch. Mrs. Wang ignored him, and even the two children did not greet him. Wang Yunqing asked his wife dissatisfiedly: "I just came out of the Japanese prison, but you don't care about me at all. Are your hearts still fleshy? ”

Mrs. Wang pointed to a newspaper thrown aside and said, "That newspaper was delivered by Ma Liangchen this morning, see for yourself what is written on it!" ”

Wang Yunqing asked angrily: "What good thing will happen to that bastard Ma Liangchen when he comes to our house?" ”

"Of course there will be good things! He asked me to tell you that old devil from Yamamoto is going to invite you to dinner tonight! ”

"Nonsense, I don't believe it." General Wang Yunqing glanced at his wife suspiciously, then grabbed the newspaper and flipped through it, and he just took a few glances before he saw a report about himself on the front page, and the headline of this report was: General Wang Yunqing, a former official of the Beiyang government, has decided to abandon his anti-Japanese stance and cooperate with the Japanese Empire, and will serve as a senior senator of the Beiping government in the near future. After seeing this report, Wang Yunqing realized that this was the reason why he was able to get out of prison today.

"Why didn't Yamamoto inform me in advance of this? How can this be? How can this be? Wang Yunqing's hand holding the newspaper trembled slightly,

Mrs. Wang snorted: "Who are you asking?" Ask your own conscience! I always thought you were a man of backbone, but I didn't expect you to join the Japanese after just a few days in prison. You have made us the family of traitors, and my children and I will have no face to see people in the future! ”

"Madam, I don't want to be called a traitor. In order to save Yurong's life, I really can't think of any other way! ”

"Master, you don't want to think about it, will Yurong get your love if you do this?"

Wang Yunqing was speechless when asked by his wife.

Wang Yunqing's appointment as a senior senator of the puppet government in Beiping was Yamamoto's idea. His strategy was that since you, Wang Yunqing, agreed to cooperate with the Japanese. Then I'll rush you duck to the shelves, and you have to get it if you don't get it. Yamamoto's ruthless move caught Wang Yunqing off guard, and he had to swallow this bitter fruit. Wang Yunqing didn't want to see his wife's face, and he didn't want to lose his temper in front of the child. He let out a long sigh and threw the newspaper on the floor, turned and walked out of the house.

In the hospital ward, Yurong leaned on the head of the bed and closed her eyes after taking a few pills, she listened to her brother's persuasion, she wanted to live strongly, eat and take medicine on time every day, and recovered some physically and mentally. At this time, the door of the ward was opened with a "squeak", and Ma Liangchen poked his head and walked in with a bag of things.

"Hello Auntie!" Ma Liangchen stood in front of the hospital bed with a smile on his face.

"How are you?" Yurong was surprised to see that it was Ma Liangchen who came to see her.

Ma Liangchen put the things in his hand on the bedside table and said, "Auntie, I have wanted to come to see you for a long time, but I can't spare time for the past few days due to official business, so please forgive me." My little nephew came this time and bought you some supplements to nourish your body, hoping that you will recover your health as soon as possible. ”

Yurong twisted her head to the side and said, "Ma Liangchen, I don't want to recognize you as a traitor relative, you can go out with your things!" Yurong didn't speak in a high voice, but her tone was very decisive.

Ma Liangchen still said with a smile on his face; "Auntie, it doesn't matter if you don't recognize me as a relative, but I still treat you as my most respected elder."

Yu Rong was too lazy to take care of Ma Liangchen, she simply closed her eyes and recuperated, as if there was no one around.

Ma Liangchen looked helpless and said, "Hi! You may think I'm a bad person, but you misunderstand me. A few days ago, I sincerely helped you escape from Beiping, but I didn't know that you were caught by my men, and the bad thing about this matter is that you don't trust me! I am very sad to see you in a good situation today, but now it is difficult for me to save you anymore! ”

Listening to Ma Liangchen's bunch of nonsense, Yu Rong couldn't help it, "Ma Liangchen, if you have a conscience, try every means to get me out, if you come to be a lobbyist for the devil, you will get out of here!" ”

"Auntie, as a Chinese whose conscience has not yet been extinguished, I very much admire your integrity in putting your personal life and death aside for the sake of national righteousness, but your attitude of not cooperating with the Japanese until death is no longer worthless."

Ma Liangchen shook a newspaper in front of Yu Rong's eyes and put it on the hospital bed, "Auntie, you must read this newspaper, please take a closer look at what is written in this newspaper." ”

Yu Rong reached out and beat the newspaper from the bed to the ground, "Your traitor newspapers are full of bullshit, and they are only worthy of wiping their butts." ”

"The news in this newspaper is absolutely true, and it is important to you, so if you don't want to read it, then I'll read you the big headline." Ma Liangchen bent down to pick up the newspaper from the ground and shook his head to read: "General Wang Yunqing, a former official of the Beiyang government, has decided to give up his anti-Japanese stance and cooperate with the Japanese Empire, and will serve as a senior senator of the Beiping government in the near future. ”

"Huh?" Although Yurong never believed the articles written in the traitor newspaper, she was still taken aback when she heard Ma Liangchen read the news! "Give me the newspaper." She took the newspaper in Ma Liangchen's hand and looked at it seriously. After reading the newspaper, Yurong's face became gloomy, but judging from her brother's consistent behavior, she would never believe that this report was true. Yu Rong threw the newspaper on the ground and said, "Ma Liangchen, you wipe your ass with this newspaper, your conspiracy to divide and divide our brothers and sisters will not succeed!" ”

Ma Liangchen said anxiously: "Auntie, even if all the reports in this newspaper are fake, I guarantee that the news that my father has been appointed as a councilor of the Beiping Municipal Government is absolutely true!" Tonight, General Yamamoto will bring celebrities from all walks of life in Peking to celebrate my father's feast, and I, as his son-in-law, have also been invited to participate! Auntie, it can be said that everyone in the world knows about this matter, and you are the only one who is still in the dark! ”

Ma Liangchen wanted to say something, but Yu Rong interrupted him, "Ma Liangchen, don't say it again, only when my eldest brother tells me in person, I don't believe it!" ”

"Auntie, General Yamamoto has entrusted me to tell you that if you would like to attend today's dinner, he will invite you to it, and you will see my father at the dinner party."

Yurong didn't believe that her brother would sell his life to serve the Japanese, but Ma Liangchen's words were convincing, so Yurong had to believe it. At this time, she felt betrayed by her brother in her heart, and in her anger, she only felt that she was short of breath and there was a hot current rushing up in her chest, and she said "ah", a stream of red blood spurted out of her mouth, and then she fell crooked on the bed. Ma Liangchen hurriedly ran outside the ward and called the doctor. (To be continued......)
